#49752: root5: runs "port select root ..." on behalf of user, causing unregistered files to be left on the user's system ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jonesc@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: root5 | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by jonesc@…): The root5 and root6 ports have done this from when root6 was added. The idea is normally a user will only want one installed, so it seems to me reasonable to select it for them. A clear message is printed warning it is happening. Personally, I see nothing wrong with this. The unregistered files are not caused by this, but a flaw in the 'port select' mechanism that does not remove them when the user uninstalls the root port they point at. I don't see this have anything to do with the root ports themselves. Chris -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49752#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
